Draft Grade — Bears
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
A passer of the future in Maye, and a D, for the Bears.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Bears did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Bell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 6th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 9th pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 27 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at No. 39 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick75 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at slot 110 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A reach on Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 22; the board had better options right there. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in Round 5, Pick 10 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
